Bärenreiter The Roots of Jazz for Two Cellos Sheet Music

The Roots of Jazz for Two Cellos — A Cello Duo Anthology

The Roots of Jazz for Two Cellos gathers nine arrangements by George A. Speckert for two cellists, published by Bärenreiter as part number BA10649. The anthology pairs classic numbers like "The Entertainer," "Tiger Rag" and "St Louis Blues" with original Speckert compositions, written as two separate performance scores so each player reads from their own part. Drawing on his New Orleans roots, the arranger captures the melodic and rhythmic feel of ragtime, blues, boogie woogie, gospel, folksong and early jazz in pieces that stay easy to play.
